pied an open barouche, with Thomas
M: Thompson, chairman of the COM
mittee of reception of the dis
Edwin II. Filter. Behind them
State Bayard. George w. Childs, Secre-
tary Fairchild and Amos r. Little.
Other carriages followed with distin-
| guiShed guests, among whom was
Rutherford B. Hayes. When the line
leached the reviewing stand the presi-
dents carriage halted.an as he alighted
to take his place on the reviewing bal
eeny of the grand stand, the cavalry
men stood ''right-abOut-face" and
saluted him. There was
CONTINUOUS ROUND OF CHEERS
as the president rode by, and he bowed
his acknowledgment of the compliment
as he passed each stand. After salut-
ing the president the city troops pro-
ceeded down Broad street, to take it's
place in the procession. Just behind
the president the venerable Hannibal
Hamlin walked arm in arm with Thomas
donaldson to their places ON the stand.
| Then Gov. Hill and staff, of New
York. All of them were the recip-
tents of round after round of applause.
| The president occupied a beautifully
carved mahogany chair presented to him
| for this occasion, and around him sat
Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild, Gov.
Hill and eX-PreSident Hayes. Shortly
after, Mrs. Cleveland appeared on the
balcony of the Lafayette hotel, followed
| by Private Secretary Lamont and wife
and two or three guests. Mrs. Cleve-
land received an enthusiastic round of
| applause as she appeared in the
front of the balcony. Shortly after
the New York troops had passed, Mrs.
| Cleveland, Private Secretary Lamont
and wife, Mr.. Drexel and the others
who were with Mrs. Cleveland on the
Lafayette hotel balcony retired and
were driven to the Bellevue hotel,
| where they took luncheon with Mr.. and
Mrs. George w. Childs. the invitation
| to the luncheon at that hour having
been accepted earlier in the day. At
| just 11:20 Gen. Phil Sheridan,
mounted on a handsome sorrel
| horse, came up the street at the head of
| the vast cavalcade of military, pre-
ceded by a squad of mounted reserves.
AS he passed the reviewing stand the
president arose and tipped his silk hat.
1t was then one continuous round of
| cheers. Behind Gen. Sheridan came the
city troops of cavalry. AS the cavalry
| men passed the grand stand, each of
the companies went through the drill
ing evolutionS. Then came a hand
sOmely uniformed band of the state
MALTA,
PLAYING PATRIOTIC AIRS.
NQYf tn them thn 6icnon,1n4a1
United States light artillery. and di-
rectly after them came the mounted
heavy artillery. Admiral Luce rode at
| the head of the column of the naval
turnout, and preceded the marine band.
| Following closely were the detachment
| of marines from the North Atlantic
| squadron. AS they drew up company
'front.' in front of the standy the broke
| into "eights, their evolutiOns being
! service followed them with pretty dis
play Gen. Sheridan, Notwithstanding the
plaudits of the multitude, rode erect,
looking neither to the right nor left AS
each platoon passed the president their
| commander gracefully raised his hat
and saluted him, receiving in return a
| bow of recognition from the comman-
der-in-chief of all the troops. AS Gov.
Beaver, of Pennsylvania, passed by
thousands OF throats opened and sentup
| royal cheer for the veteran who left a
| limb Oh the field of battle as tribute to
| his loyalty. Behind him came nearly
10000 Pennsylvania military, All the
| companies marched company front until
they reached SAMSON street. The bu-
| glerS sounded their calls as they passed
| in review as salute to the president,
| and each company received
AN APPRECIATIvE BOW.
Broad street was one solid mass of hui
manity. people coming at daybreak in
order to secure even standing room.
Some of the stands that were only
partially filled yesterday were packed
to-day, and if there was an inch
Of unOccupied space along the entire
route it would have been difficult to
find it. The end of the parade was oc-
cupied by the Grand Army of the Re-
| public, and as each post passed in front
of the stand its commander gave a
salute to the president and was recog-
nlzed. Post No 2, of this city, carried
| in the center of its column twenty-one
of the flags captured by them during the
war. They We're mass of tattered and
torn colos, but they were honOredby the
spec tatOwith cheers and whose echoes
went upneVer to die. 1t was fine ap-
pearance they made. Some walking
with the aid of crutches, and all of
them wearing on their visages the finger
marks of time. They were picture in
contrast with the youthful militiamen
who preceded them. Their platoOnS of
of men told story. They had seen
| service, while the predecessors in the
| line of march were wanting to see it.
| In their appearance and drill they dis
| played the knowledge of military life
which they had bought
with years of privation and
suffering, and many of them had paid a
still higher price in the loss of an arm
or limb: During the time they were
passing the president remained stand
answered each salute as it was given.
Orders had previously been issued by
the department commander, G. A. R.,
that only post commanders should sa-
lutte, the men in line to walk facing
ahead. This was not strictly adhered
to, however, and many of those of the
rank and file passed by the stand with
uncovered heads. 1t was just 2:45 when
the last of the Grand Army men passed
| by. They may we'll be
PROUD OF THEIR DISPLAY
and that it was appreciated by the vast
concOurse Of spectators was plainly evi-
| dent, Company K of the Fifteenth Penn
Sylvania regiment, carried a tattered
battle flag at their head, and received
perfect ovation. The flag itself was
| simply mass of f1uttering rags, as were
also two of the flags carried by the Du-
quesne Greys of the Eighteenth regiment
| of Pittsburg, who received considerable
attention by reason of their marching.
When Gov. Foraker appeared at the
head of the Fourteenth Ohio regi-
ment he was obliged to keep his head
uncovered for long time in order to
acknowledge the vociferous cheers of
| his friends, who seemed to be number
